There isn't a day that has passed since having my second child that I hoped my leftover stretched out tummy from having babies would shrink and my clothes would fit me properly. I felt my tummy was bit deformed and dis proportioned to the rest of my body. After having bilateral hip surgery 2 years ago I was told I may never run again and this truly motivated me to prove that Dr. wrong, somebody telling me that running was no longer in the cards for me....what would I do? How would I battle the belly bulge if I couldn't run? I know there are other options but running was my space, my place! So I fought back and hit the elliptical and biked. I am very proud to say that I am running again after all of the hard work... Feeling better mentally. Here's the problem though, all of the work I put In and I STILL THE I HAVE the Mommy BELLY Fat :( So when my sister suggested this brand new Procedure for Lipo that was incredibly Safe and Affordable I decided why not?? It's not like I didn't already poor my heart into diet and exercise so I needed help. The consultation was very non aggressive they made me feel extremely comfortable and Michelle the patient care consultant gave me very realistic expectations. There is a great payment plan they offer as well that you can finance you procedure if you need to and pay it off in a certain amount of time so you don't have to pay any interest. I was interested in doing my arms and maybe just below my bottom as well and Michelle advised this was not an area they would recommend doing on me because it wasn't really fat just loose skin, I appreciated the fact that they weren't just out to make a buck and she was very candid with me. They truly just wanted to help where they felt they could make a big impact on the way I felt, which was my upper and lower abdomen, waist and hips...goodbye muffin tops too! Michelle explained that for my arms (what happens after 40?) and below my bottom they have a new Laser Procedure called Venus that uses magnetic technology to build collagen and this would take care of tightening up that skin so lipo was not necessary. She explained the reason Lipo with Sono Bello was so much more affordable than most is because they do not have to use an anesthesiologist...they don't have to put you under for the procedure and this is a huge cost savings. More importantly because you don't have to be knocked out it is much SAFER and being a mother of 2 I feel I have a responsibility to my children to be there for them. Something holding me back previously from making the leap to do this procedure for Myself was just that it felt a bit selfish. Everyone knows surgery can be dangerous but when you're not "going under" it's a much safer procedure therefore the Mommy guilt was eliminated and I was ALL IN!! So just to qualify because the procedure is done without Anesthesia you're probably thinking as I was that this would be scary because I was. They give you a "cocktail" prior to walking into surgery which included some type of pain med and something else to calm your nerves that definitely did the trick (no not alcohol silly) I literally made the surgeon Lol when I told her I was so relieved that this didn't feel like a surgery at all but more of a day at the SPA...when she started the procedure no joke I was completely fearless with 0 anxiety about what was going on. They talked with me during the procedure and informed me of what was going on and we joked and laughed. To me I felt like I was in the middle of a Greys Anatomy Episode (One of my favorite shows) only I got to participate in the surgery it was very cool! Pain free. So post op they told me to take it easy and generally patients return to work in 3 days, So the results are even better than I expected I gained 80 pounds during my 2nd pregnancy so my skin was very stretched out and so was the muscle I wasn't completely convinced that removing the fat would be enough to make a difference in my appearance but I am thrilled to say that I feel Fantastic. My clothes are already big on me and they say that I will continue to see results for the next 6 months which is hard to imagine but I'm excited to see. I could barely look in the mirror at my tummy before the procedure, now I check daily. I also receive aftercare emails with advice on how I should be progressing and how to take care of myself to achieve the best results. The entire process was quick easy. I do plan on following up with the Venus Treatments to tighten up the skin on my belly arms and bottom so thinking in a few months I will be feeling like million bucks. I am already feeling like myself again, I felt like I was stuck in a fat suit prior to this procedure. read more

I had my first surgery yesterday, it was split in two since I am having 5 areas done, next surgery 2/10. From the very start I was SO pleased with everyone at Sono Bello, the girls making my appointments, Roseanne who did my consultation, Susanne the Senior Practice Manager, I had 2 nurses whom I cannot remember their names one when I had my first meeting with the doctor, for a physical and to be sure I was a good fit for surgery, I was. She was FANTASTIC at explaining things to me, she was also a patient so I completely trusted her answers when I had questions. I then went in yesterday excited and a little nervous. PLEASE DO NOT BE NERVOUS ABOUT BEING AWAKE! My other nurse prepared me for the surgery by taking my vitals signs, having me change into my surgery outfit, and telling me what we were going to do, she gave me my meds. which I believe was the proper cocktail of meds. for me, She was also in with the doctor throughout my surgery, helped me get cleaned up, and helped me into my compression garment, and gave me all of my home going instructions. Everyone is very caring of your needs and fears. They make me want to go work there! You barely feel anything a little burning from the tumescent fluid, and some pinches when they make your incisions which there are only a few. Dr. Greer is simply AMAZING I just love her! They all explained everything to me so well. She also said she will be calling me today to check on me! I had my surgery at 10:30 AM, did not have to change my drainage pads until 4:00 AM, (yes you will have drainage, as the tiny incisions do not need to be stitched, I believe there were only 5) I arrived home around 2:30PM, slept away on and off the whole day, getting up for a light snack and to go to the rest room(there is a hole in your garment to pee, thank God LOL!) It is 10:AM and I have VERY minimal pain!! I absolutely love this place and the staff!! I HIGHLY recommend them!! As for the review that Erica S. posted, I did have to wait about 1/2 hour for my consultation but I did not mind at all, because I would not want them to be rushing me through, so have patience because someone may have to wait while you are in there! read more

Take your time and do your research on the procedure, go on TheRealSelf website to read other's experiences with plastic surgery in general so that you can read about and understand a variety of experiences. Surgery is a major investment, it's not something that should be entered in to on a whim, so consume as much information as you can so that you can be prepared to ask plenty of questions, and most importantly, manage your own expectations! Have a plan about how you're going to achieve your health goals and know that it takes 6 months to see the final results of the surgery. Once you do that, and once you are comfortable with making this financial and emotional investment, you will NOT be sorry! The staff at the Cleveland location are an excellent team of professionals and the nurses always made me feel welcomed and watched out for, like we were going through this process together. All of the staff are personable and friendly and accommodating. My surgeon, (Dr. Miller), is not only handsome, but he's an excellent surgeon with a good eye for detail. He's quiet, but he's excellent at his job, so if he is your surgeon, don't be afraid to speak up and ask questions! My results are amazing, but it wasn't just from the surgery alone - this was a total change of a lifestyle for me. And as a result of my commitment to myself and to my health goals and Dr. Miller at Sonobello, at 6 months status post surgery, I am down 40 pounds and 4 sizes and I feel and look GREAT! I highly recommend Sonobello, because with their help, you can achieve your goals, if your goals are realistic and attainable and if you WORK to achieve them. Sonobello can only get you to the river, it is up to you reach down and take a drink! And I cannot say it enough, consume information about the actual procedure, read about other's experiences and make a plan for your self with goals, then move forward with implementation and forgive yourself if you make mistakes along the way! Good luck! ME - 40 lbs lighter! read more

***** From the minute I picked up the phone to schedule my consultation, to the followup visit at one week, the staff has been nothing but friendly, helpful, and supportive. Doing my research in advance, i had read that Sonobello used hard sell tactics and pressure to get a down payment after your first visit. This could not have been further from the truth for what i experienced. Not the first mention of a payment was discussed until i brought it up and asked about financing, or self pay options. Every step of the procedure was explained to me in detail. I am one to leave no stone uncovered and each and every question was answered. I trusted the staff with what i was told. Each doctor had a bio for me to research, along with many examples of their work. It truly was a very easy decision to make and I haven't regretted it for a minute. On the day of my procedure, i was treated very patiently. They explained each step of what i would experience during it, and the recovery steps. This is very important to know, so that while i was home, i didn't wonder what was normal and what was of concern. They took my phone calls when i had questions, and returned any messages i had left. I will definitely return to this location for more work when the time is right. -- Lori C read more

Initially, I was super excited as I was told once the swelling went down the results would be visible. 7 months later (and after follow ups as required), it doesn't look like I even had anything done. They have no problem taking your money out of your account (and will even offer you reduced fees if you schedule by the end of the month. An effective gimmick to reel people in thinking they are getting a great deal perhaps?), but they definitely do not deliver the results that they tell you to expect. And let's face it, who doesn't want to look/feel better with minimal discomfort? Human vanity allows people who know what to do and say the opportunity to take advantage of us that are looking for a "quick fix". I thought it would be fantastic to spend one day doing this as opposed to six months of hard work at the gym. Lesson learned. DO NOT fall for the gimmicks they wave in front of you so temptingly. Put in the work, and you WILL see the results. Do not allow this company to take your money and leave you unhappy (and with a lighter bank account). WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND. I do want to clarify that this is no reflection on the office staff. Everyone was exceedingly nice. But I would still never recommend this place if you want real results. read more

First, I would like to say this is my first time writing a review for any business. I felt compelled to write this one however. I decided to go to Sonobello after seeing the results a friend of mine had after receiving liposuction. I have to tell you that every person who came in contact with me, Whether they answered the phone or if they were physically in front of me, treated me as if I was absolutely the most important patient. The nurses, consultants and physician answered all of my countless questions and they made me feel completely at ease and helped me to realize that it was okay to make myself a priority. I had no idea how happy I would be after my procedure. I didn't realize that doing that one thing for myself would make me feel so amazing and beautiful. Dr Stroup is a phenomenal plastic surgeon! He managed to correct something I had been struggling with for many years in only a couple hours! I am more than grateful! I can not believe how beautiful I look and feel! My Sonobello experience at the Antenucci Blvd location was absolutely wonderful! Thanks you guys! I am eternally grateful. Antoinette S. read more

Hey! If the previous client had actually waited they might have had a great experience! I'm a true blue Clevelander! I love this city and that includes slogging through butter cold winters, eating Kielbasa and cheese steak and drinking beer while watching the Browns! Anyways, forty crept up on me and I was eight pounds overweight! 80! So I spoke with my family physician and he said Sono Bello is the best place to get liposuction and that it would take me the rest of my life to lose the weight with diet and exercise. He was sooo right because I tried to lose the weight by going to the gym EVERY DAY and eating paleo and running every morning too! I lost 8 pounds! 10% So I took the plunge and got liposuction on three areas and and lost the other 72 pounds! Best of all? I look great because it was all in the right places! Cheap? Nope. Painless? Nope. But do I have a new life because I can go to Lake Erie and look pretty darn good??? Yes!!! Thank you Sono Bello! read more

I would most certainly recommend Sono Bello. Every visit, everyone made me feel comfortable and at ease. Dorothy was so reassuring when I met with her for my consult. Then came meeting Dr. Moon, he was very up front with me and made me feel very comfortable with my decision. Believe me, I was scared to death to have this procedure done, especially knowing I would be awake the entire time. I am now two months post procedure and I am feeling and looking amazing. No more back pains, and as I stated, I feel amazing. I have always hid my size, fairly well and my weight, but I have gone from a size 15 to a size 7 jean. I don't think my body is done changing yet either. I think I have a lot more, positive changes to come, to get to my full potential. Wish I had both my before and final pictures to show. Hopefully I can update this in a month with before and after photos! I feel great! Thank you to all the staff at SonoBello! read more

My experience with Sono Bello has been just GREAT!!! From the first day that I visit my consultation to my 3 month post op follow up so far. I am so very pleased with my results and never thought that I could have such a flat and defined stomach. I didn't even have this back in high school LOL. Everyone there were so nice and it was so easy to talk with everyone including Dr. Greer. She was very up front with me on what to expect with my surgery and recovery. I had my procedure done on a Thursday afternoon and was back to work on that next Monday, and I work two jobs and was able to do both... Yes I did move just a little bit slow but I was back working. So my down time was just the 3 days that they said that I would need to be off which I don't work weekends anyway so I really only needed to request that Friday off. Thank you Sono Bello!!!!! read more

Great people and great surgeon!! Dr. Blanchard was one of the very best docs I have had the pleasure to know. No wonder her own business is picking up so much! She has an honest but pleasant bedside manner, and I am very pleased with the results!! Very happy I went through and followed through with them!! And I also did the financing, and it only took about 20 minutes for that to complete. One of the reviews only talks about that -what a joke!! Sometimes the financing does take longer than expected, but that is not Sonobello's fault-they use a separate financing company so how could Sonobello be responsible for how long it takes to get through an applicant's stuff?? No reason to say no to them! I have always been taken care of immediately-and let's face it-every business has its bad day as all people do as well read more

From the moment we started the entire process , we were treated with class-kindness-affection and the upmost professionalism........first and foremost from our sales consultant Roseann ,who outlined everything we needed to know and expect with passion and commitment !! Her knowledge and warm presentation turned what could have been a nervous meeting , into a very pleasant and comforting visit..... We were so delighted with her warmth and expertise ..... but that sentiment also included the office staff , the nurses Brandy and Chelsey and of course Dr.Malhotra ,who does a remarkable job..... We could not be any happier and would highly recommend your services to family and friends alike !!! Thank you for a tremendous experience !! By the way , my wife looks amazing !! Thanks so much !!

When I came in for a consultation for my first Botox appointment, I was so nervous!! One of the girls I saw in the office, Rosie, was so sweet and comforting and helped me feel better about my first appointment. Dr M. made me feel comfortable and at ease and the whole process was totally painless. The center manager, Suzanne, checked in with me afterwards to make sure I felt comfortable and satisfied with the procedure and the care I received. Her warm and caring approach made me feel so confident and sure of my choice to have my procedure done at sono bello!!! I will definitely be back.. I am a healthcare worker myself so I'm pretty picky but I would definitely rate this center as a 10/10!!!! Thanks for refreshing my skin and giving me that little something I needed to put my best face forward! read more

The entire staff at the Sono Bello Center are truly exceptional at what they do. I starting attending Sono Bello doctors seminars in 2014 and ever since then I've had three major procedures (one was corrective surgery from a 2009 procedure from an unrelated Doctor) and minor facial fillers done. I love the doctors here because they are just honest, easy to talk to and you can tell they simply love what they do. The staff will make you feel welcomed, cared for and safe. The facility it's self is top of the line, clean, with a relaxing ambiance. When they take you to the surgery center it's a fully functional hospital and staff. Most importantly I feel ecstatic with my results. The Doctors have my full trust, respect and loyalty for life. Love you all at the Sono Bello Center!!! read more

WOW! I am so, so happy with the results of my Tri-Sculpt procedure preformed on June 9, 2017! The entire process was simple, quick and painless. Is/was there some "discomfort" - Yes...... but, if you follow the precise instructions of your Doctor (MD) you will be fine and you will get some amazing results! I am 64 years old and decided to do this for me .... The entire staff was there to help, the RN called me personally the night of the procedure and the Doctor called the following day just to check-up. I'm at my 6th month spot and I have abs that take my breath away when I look in the mirror! I do go to the gym 5-6 times a week and eat as healthy as possible ............ I love how I look and dress how I love. Thanks to all at Sono Bello in helping me look and feel GREAT!! JF read more

I just had a facelift there at the Cleveland office. OF COURSE I was scared and nervous, as anyone would be. In short, they exceeded my expectations. It was great that I did not have to have the full anesthesia of a normal facelift. I was totally comfortable throughout the entire procedure. They also have a dedicated nurse practitioner to see you anytime you need to be seen. The aftercare directions were given to me ahead of time, as were the prescription meds, so I could get everything arranged and set up. They also assisted me with interest-free financing. If you are committed to the pre and post surgery work it takes to look refreshed and younger, then Sonobello is the place for you. read more

I can't even begin to tell you what a great company this is to do business with. They are honest, friendly and dedicated to your concerns. The follow up was as good as any vendor I've worked with. Everything was not 100% to my liking after my procedure but they went the extra mile to make sure I was happy. Special shout outs to Phil, Dolores, Emily and Jennifer. Sorry I don't remember everyone's names because they all do this company proud. They all made me feel like they cared. What more can you ask for. Looking forward to my end results. I feel better already and I know I look better. ( My name says I'm in San Francisco but I'm actually in Cleveland and this relates to the Cleveland office) read more

I made a consultation appointment with Roseanne Balsamo about the options that Sono Bello offered and if they could help me. From the time I walked through the door I was made to feel like I was the only important person there. I was greeted with smiles from the front desk personnel all the way through to the physicians. Roseann explained everything so throughly that I found it easy to make a decision to do something for myself in enhancing my appearance. When I went to meet Dr Malhotra and her team, I had all my questions answered and everything was explained again in complete detail. Call if you have any questions is their mantra. This is an A+ company with detail to customer service. read more

I had full on Lipo here after gaining sixty pounds during a year long illness. The staff was amazing and the pricing good (its elective surgery folks so don't cry me a river if its nor free) and I had two days of down time, but no complications. The staff called me an hour after and then three hours agin and the next morning to make sure I was fine and even gave me Polaroid before and after photos:) Great team and skills. Highly recommend Sono Bello! PS: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is sooo worth the trip if you're in Cleveland just for a weekend. I was there when Sammy Hager was being inducted and they had him play with his band and do all the Van Halen hits! read more

I recently had a body contouring procedure. Dr. Moon and my nurse Delona were a fabulous team. Delona was very attentive and she explained everything. She was very assuring and put me at ease. Dr. Moon is a very skilled surgeon. I am extremely satisfied with my results. Dr. called later that evening to see how I was doing and Delona called me the next day. Everyone that I interacted with at Sonobello was caring and professional. I went into this procedure very informed and I received follow up emails each week to let me know what to expect. I would highly recommend Sonobello and definitely ask for Dr. Moon and Delona. read more
